A workaround action for handling-skipped-but-required-checks.
Please note that this action is not a perfect solution, it's just a workaround. It's just work for pull_request and pull_request_target events, and it's not work for push event.
just like github action's path and paths-ignore. The only difference is that you need add | at the beginning.
name: pull request
on:
pull_request: # or pull_request_target, this action only works for these two events
# paths:
# - "src/**" just move to the action's input
jobs:
path-filter:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
outputs:
should_skip: ${{ steps.filter.outputs.should_skip }}
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4 # better this action use git diff, so you need checkout the code first
with:
filter: blob:none # reduce clone size
fetch-depth: 0 # need full history, the default is 1, which is not enough. if you limit the pull request' commit length, you can set it to your limit.
- uses: leavesster/[email protected] # v0.2 is the latest version
id: "filter"
with:
paths: | # notice the `|`, it's required. the left is same as github action's path and paths-ignore
- "src/**"
path-echo:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: path-filter
if: ${{ needs.path-filter.outputs.should_skip != 'true' }} # skip the job still report status check as success.
steps:
- run: echo "path hit"should_skip is a boolean value, it's true if the pull request should be skipped, otherwise false.
changed_files is a string list, it's the changed files in the pull request.
